Tang's dining table

When a huge dining hall covering more than ten acres of land appeared in front of Yun Chu and Di Renjie, neither of them had any excessive expressions.

It was obviously past the meal time, but the place was still crowded and noisy.

The women working in the canteen in Jinchangfang were obviously very tired. Under the urging of the diners, they had to barely maintain the speed of loading food for them.

"Don't shake, just get the big one. Shake, keep shaking. If you keep shaking, I can only eat beans."

"Baby, I'm watching. You go and put the soup in. Don't shake your hands. Take your time. Make it thick, not thin..."

"Don't fucking drink the glutinous rice. This is the canteen's plan. If you drink too much glutinous rice, you won't be able to eat. We only got 50 cents to eat, but we only eat bamboo chips. Eat more meat and less worthless things." , take it, eat another duck leg..."

Even Di Renjie, who had long been accustomed to eating canteen food, still had the urge to drool when he saw the brown meatballs covered in grease and deep-fried.

One hand reached over involuntarily and took out the shallow pottery bowl containing four meatballs.

Looking around, he found that the place where the pork was originally placed was empty, so he sighed and said to Yun Chu: "There shouldn't be a limit on things like pork."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "There is no way, no matter how much I cook, there is not enough to eat. Do you know that the prices of pigs around Chang'an have been raised by you, especially those pigs that have been castrated and grown up on clean food? Hurry up!" It’s hard to find a pig for your mother.”

"Are all the people in Qujiang helping you raise pigs now?"

Yunchu sighed and said, "If you raise too much of this stuff, it will easily suffer from plague, but if you raise too little, it's not cost-effective. In the past, people ate rice bran and bran, but now it's not enough to feed them all to pigs.

I had people buy a lot of beans, squeeze the oil and make bean cakes to feed the pigs. I was also warned by the censor who was wandering around the countryside. If my pork hadn't been so delicious, I would have even been punished for this. . "

Di Renjie got himself a bowl of rice, poured the meatball soup on the rice, looked at Yun Chu who was sitting opposite him and said: "Beans are rare for people to eat. You feed the beans to the pigs. I am the censor. Impeach you too.”

Yun Chu waited for Di Renjie to finish a bowl of rice and meatballs the size of four eggs and said, "You didn't have this much appetite before. I remember, the first time you came to my house for dinner, how many bowls of rice did you eat?"

Di Renjie knocked on the small bowl of rice in front of him and said, "Four bowls of rice twice as big as this."

"I remember you said you weren't full yet?"

"Yeah, I'm not full, I'm still hungry, but my stomach just can't hold it."

"You just had a small bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables. You seem to be full."

Di Renjie frowned and said, "The appetite is getting smaller and smaller, but people are getting fatter."

Yunchu chuckled. The most important function of cafeteria food is actually to make him fat. Thinking back then, he had gained a lot of weight after eating in the school cafeteria for four years. It wasn't that the cafeteria food was delicious, but it was mainly because it was too oily and watery, just like His mid-morning snack was steamed buns stuffed with lard and cabbage. He could eat twenty of them in one sitting.

"Do you know how many ducks these people ate just last year?"

Di Renjie looked at the piles of braised duck meat in a large basket, did some mental calculation and said, "One hundred thousand?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "You underestimate the appetite of Chang'an people. In just this canteen, five hundred ducks will be killed in one day."

Di Renjie said in surprise: "In one year, two hundred thousand ducks?"

Yunchu said: "There are only two hundred thousand ducks. Now, if you go to Qujiang Pond again, you will find that ducks have almost covered Qujiang Pond. Now, as long as there are ponds, there will be Ducks exist.”

Di Renjie said strangely: "Why not use chicken? I always think chicken is more delicious than duck meat."

"If duck meat is cooked well, it will also be a top-notch delicacy, but now there is no need to do those fancy things. Just dealing with these middlemen who are not Guizhou leaders and not scholars is too busy.

Ducks are rich in food. They can find food in the wild without feeding them. With a small amount of feed, they can have it on the table in half a year.

If the chickens fail, they will take too long to raise, which will also waste food. "

Di Renjie thought for a while and said: "Last winter, someone was selling cotton-padded jackets filled with duck feathers. After putting them on, they looked very bloated, but they were very light and warm. The price of five guan for one piece was really unbearable. accept.

However, this thing is very popular in Pingkangfang, but all the prostitutes seem to wear one. When they enter the temple with the earth dragon, they take off the bulky duck hair clothes and wear light gauze clothes underneath... tsk tsk , this business doesn’t belong to your family, right? "

Yun Chu nodded and said: "My family is the only one in the world with so many duck feathers, so the business naturally belongs to my family."

"Isn't it Gongsun who wore the duck sweater first?"

"Of course Gongsun. I have been doing business with my family in the past two years and have saved a lot of money. I am planning to open a "Sword House" of my own. I heard that I am currently buying a girl suitable for sword dancing.

Naha wanted to go, but I beat her up. She has been unhappy with me these days, which has affected you. "

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "Naha is no different from my sister, this is nothing, and it is not rude.

I'm surprised now that when you do something, you often just make a start, and then a whole series of industries will naturally emerge.

Open a canteen, then grow vegetables, raise pigs, raise ducks, and then make duck-feather clothes. What else will appear in the future? "

After watching the maids in the dining hall take away the dishes, Di Renjie stood up and left the dining hall, slowly walking into the alley lined with green bamboos.

When passing by Tongban's house, Yun Chu pointed to the closed door of Tongban's house and said to Di Renjie, "Do you remember Tongban?"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "How could you not remember?"

Yun Chu took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie looked through the book and found that it was a copy of "The Analects of Confucius". Seeing that the handwriting on the book was clear, without adhesion or smearing, and the gaps between words were of the right size, he couldn't help but ask: "This is the copper plate they use at home." Can the movable type produced by seals now reach this level?

Although it is not as good as the engraving of the engraving, it is still better than the book carved in the negative. "

"People are currently researching movable lead type. After the movable lead type comes out, Jinchangfang will dedicate this craft to the Imperial College, and then get permission from the Imperial College to print books. Jinchangfang will be able to open a big, very big shop. The book printing workshop, if you write a book in the future, you can have it printed here, believe me, it’s cheap and fast.”

"Why is it Jinchangfang and not Renjia Copper Plate?"

Yun Chu looked at Di Renjie and laughed: "Because I tied the seals together just to be lazy, and found that I could make up a sentence. Then, I had a copper plate and wanted to engrave all the words into seals, and then arrange them as needed. You can print books.”

"You never seem to care about the secret recipe."

"Do I make money with secret recipes? Don't I have enough money? Change my position? I have no intention of becoming a high-ranking official in my life. I just want to be a real small official. Since I can get that position with my ability, why should I Why should we resort to such a helpless method as exchange?"

"Being a minor official?"

"Yes, if I am the county captain of Wannian County, then will all the public security in Wannian County be under my control?"

"Yes, it's up to you."

"Since it's under my control, nothing should happen to Wannian County."

"You mean anything illegal?"

"That's right."

"It doesn't include the illegal things you want to do, right?"

"That's natural! I want to use the smallest power to the greatest extent."

"In the past, Jinchangfang was a dish on your dining table, and then Qujiangli also became a dish on your dining table. Now, are you ready to bring the entire Wannian County to your dining table?"

Yunchu laughed and said, "I have a big appetite."

Chatting with friends you haven't seen for a long time is the most joyful thing. Whether it's depression in life, worries at work, or ambitions hidden in your heart, you can bask them in the sun.

After talking to Di Renjie all afternoon, Yun Chu felt that his mood had become much more relaxed. Anyway, all the garbage was dumped to Di Renjie, and he felt relaxed.

The Yun family has become less like a home. How should I put it, more like a factory plus a dormitory.

The formerly exquisite Yun family was now filled with goods, some of which were even as high as the roof.

’ If it weren’t for the fact that there were three nests of swallows under the eaves, Ms. Cui might not have let go of that eaves.

The cleanliness and tidiness that Yunchu prided himself on can hardly be seen in the Yun family. No matter how clean the duck feathers are, there will always be some unique duck smell.

"Our family should build a bigger mansion. We will start immediately after Lang Jun reaches high school. I asked the chief craftsmen. They said that as long as the materials are prepared, six construction teams will work together. Two Months are enough to build our house."

Whenever Yunchu looked dissatisfied with his family, Ms. Cui would immediately come over to comfort him.

Yun Chu looked at the fat Cui who was driven by power and money and said, "Don't destroy our family just for money."

Mrs. Cui shook her small fan and said with a smile: "Look at what Mr. Lang said, who would be dissatisfied with the lack of money?"

Yun Chu pinched Cui's third layer of fat chin and said: "In the past, I was always worried that your body was too thin. Now, I am beginning to worry that one day you will definitely be fat to death."

Mrs. Cui patted Kai Yunchu's hand and said, "A woman should be fatter to look good. Look at the two, three, four, five, and six, who is not round and beautiful?"

Yunchu looked around and saw women as plump as rubber balls all over the yard, jumping around in the yard.

Not only the first ten people in the family who bought it have gained weight, but also the women who bought it later, except for a few who were born unable to gain weight, are developing crazily horizontally.

Yunchu knew that these were all the consequences of eating in the restaurant. These people, who had been suffering from hunger for decades, had no resistance in front of food. It took more than two years to unknowingly make themselves... A fat man.
